Who is Detective Holloway on Chicago Fire?

Chicago Fire has said goodbye to several characters over the years, whether they choose to leave the Firehouse or they die in the line of duty. It’s always a difficult process, but some departures are so impactful and dramatic that they serve to remind fans why they fell in love with the show in the first place.

Bianca Holloway is one of the characters who received a memorable goodbye. Her time on the show may have been brief, but it packed a devastating punch for both fans and Severide (Taylor Kinney), who grew particularly close to the detective.

Here’s a rundown of Bianca Holloway’s character history and her ultimate demise.

Detective Holloway died in Chicago Fire season 4

Detective Bianca Holloway was introduced in the season 4 episode “What Happened to Courtney”. She’s a no-nonsense officer who embarks on a dangerous undercover mission, and who relies on Severide when she’s unable to find someone to watch her son. Severide and Holloway’s son spend time together at the firehouse, but their bonding is cut short when the mission goes awry.

Detective Holloway is ultimately killed in the episode “The Last One for Mom”. She’s shot on the way to a hearing, which puts Severide in the very difficult position of having to figure out what’s best for her son. There haven’t been many references to Holloway since her season 4 death, but fans who have revisited the show can attest that it’s one of the most shocking developments in the entire run.
